Winter is the wedding season, but we must cater to everyone’s ethnic preferences. We adore wearing our gorgeous ethnic clothing, but it becomes difficult when the winter and wedding seasons coincide. We find it challenging to select an elegant Saree or Lehenga from our wardrobe to wear to an event comfortably and without feeling down due to the chilly winter. However, there are always some tips and tricks you can use to dress in your favorite ethnic wear and take a chill pill on your winter fashion journey on every occasion.

Pick your Sleeves Carefully

Full-sleeved cholis and lehengas are very popular right now. Additionally, wearing full sleeves, three-quarter Anarkalis, or blouses with sarees gives you a royal and elegant appearance. You can experiment with a variety of fabrics with Indian embroidery as well as with some antiquated techniques like Chikankari, Pathworks, Kashmiri weaves, Kutch mirrorwork, etc. To make them look fancy and fashionable, accessorize them well with chunky jewelry and a belt.

The Jacket Fashion Fads

You must be aware of this jacket trend if you keep up with all the newest celebrities and designers. Whether it’s long or short, the fact that it’s decorated with stunning fabrics and ethnic embroidery makes it stand out and serves its intended purpose of keeping you warm. Some lehengas also include a jacket, making them an ideal purchase for the winter. They can also be worn as an Indo-western ensemble for a ceremony when paired with cropped tops and flared palazzo pants.

Swap out a Dupatta For a Shawl

Shawls are not out of style; rather, they are currently becoming more fashionable. And the monotonous single-color ones are no longer among them. Presently, designers create shawls with ethnic patterns and embroidery using various threadwork and patchwork techniques from all over India. These shawls also have dual-sided patterns, making them statement pieces in and of themselves. You can get ready for the evening by replacing your dupattas with this one statement piece. You could even add this as a finishing touch to your saree ensemble to give it more definition.

The Warmer the Fabric the Better

If you are purchasing something new or having something made specifically for you, you can opt for warmer fabrics like velvet, brocade, or raw silk, which is a thicker variety of silk. Avoid nets at all costs, and if you want something heavier, opt for embroidered items made of the same material. Traditional Indian textile techniques are what are currently making a comeback in fashion. In addition to this, all women have the choice to wear thicker ethnic clothing with closed necklines or elaborate sleeves, which will undoubtedly make you feel hotter during this cold season.

However, if you are more willing to constantly experiment with your appearance and want to look unique wherever you go, this blog will be your best friend throughout this wedding season and even the ones to come. Enjoy your beauty and happiness while chilling without actually getting chilled!
